shannonstricklandportfolio vol 4

Shannon Strickland, born in 1994 is currently studying towards a Bachelor's in Architecture with a minor in Interior Design at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. He received the largest scholarship that Pratt offered to study at the school. Since, he has become a teaching assistant for a representation professor, had an internship with TPG Architecture, Avoid Obvious LLC, and had some of his work published in the InProcess architecture publication put out by the Pratt Architecture Department.

He continually pushes the envelope of what is expected or traditional in building design, and tries to focus on the inhabitant as the key driver for the formation of space. He believes that architects should strive to make a building formally beautiful as well architecturally responsible. He is interested in the ability to design a building not only on the macro scale, but on the micro scale, down to the smallest details.

He enjoys the exploration of not only traditional tools of sketching and hand drawing, but also new digital tools and continually tries to learn new programs and technologies to give him the largest amount of resources possible. Proficient in the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Rhinoceros, AutoCAD, Grasshopper, T-Splines, 3dsMax, Revit, V-ray, and Maxwell, he is able to use these tools to effectively represent his work. He is constantly looking for new things to learn, and new opportunities to explore.

TSSELECTED WORKS

This project is a storage and training facility for rowers. The Columbia University rowing team uses the facility, as well as, with the new program, there is boats for public use.

The parti for the boathouse was derived from the geometry of the motion an oar makes in water. Taking this stratified displacement action, we developed the planometric strategy for the building, and then a sectional one that creates an outdoor roofscape that wraps over the building.

The class did not call for it, but we took it upon ourselves to apply our strategy for the building to the interiors.

We focused on the site strategy very heavily, as well as integrating the structural, mechanical, and facade systems into the dynamic design of the project

Air vents from the first floor entry on the west side brings the predominately west wind through the building producing a stack effect to draw the hot air out of the building and help cool the space. The atrium in the lobby helps bring air flow up to the second floor and out through the facade which has windows with ventilation placed high on the wall.

The building is wrapped with an extensive roofscape that allows inhabitants of the building to use the roof of the building like a more natural landscape. It helps with rainwater retention as well as a use for the rainwater collection. The roofscape is made up of sod on a 4” thick layer of soil so as not to be an incredibly dense roof system, while still

having beneficial environmental effects.

The West facade of the building is made up of slits of channel glass that conform to the massing of the building. These walls allow for a diffuse source of daylight to keep the space well lit in the evening for the rowers to train and relax, while keeping out the

solar heat gain by being a translucent material.

The Ceiling is made up of a series of stratified wood pieces that leave the dropped ceiling open so that the mechanical systems can benefit from the air flow. It allows the air ducts to run above the louvered system and still be able to supply and

return air with ease.

There is a water collection tank on the edge of the roof that stores and re-distributes rainwater when appropriate to both the green roof system as well as the toilets throughout the building. It also is used to help water the planters that reside within

the facade.

The facade is made up of a series of punched windows in which some of them are operable at both the top and bottom of the space so that air can circulate through the space and help cool it to minimize the mechanical functions required. The top and bottom windows can be opened to allow

air to move through the space.

The East facade is made up of a series of framed windows that allow in the low morning light into the space and creates an active environment for the rowers while providing solar shading later in the day so that the building does not retain as

much solar heat gain.

Not seen well in this photo, is a facade system that includes solar shading louvers as well as plant boxes that are able to be watered and get sun, while helping with both ventilation and solar shading for the building. It is a multi-use facade that creates a comfortable environment for the

inhabitants.

The facade for the boat storage is made out of the system listed in number eight. It allows the boats to be dried through the passage of air from the west through the boat storage and out the east side. The space is unconditioned, and naturally ventilated to help try to keep it at a decent temperature year

round without the need for mechanical systems.

This project is a proposed dormitory for Pratt Institute.

The building is meant to house a minimum of 110 students, but I opted to change that slightly based on my own conceptual development.

My dormitory has very packed, micro-units that have adaptable furniture modules within them that allows them to be very compact. I was able to fit 132 units in the building as well as having an incredibly spacious central public space. The additional units are intended to be used to help pay off the generous public space

The parti of the building is a reflection of the shifting formal strategy of the building that is used on both the macro scale and the micro scale of the units

The facade is kept as a clean frit glass pattern in order to display the furniture piece. The furniture module in a way becomes the facade. It moves and configures in different ways that allows the user to use the room in a variety of ways.

The prompt of this project was to create an urban library/archive in Chinatown. I began with the proposition of an organization strategy centered around the idea of meandering. A library is a place designed usually for the housing of books so that a user can find them, but what if that library begins to act as more of an active story in itself.

The reader in this space can see where they want to go, but it is not a straight journey there. The series of stairs push and pull on the edge, skip floors and cause the space to become a place where one can get side-tracked. It allows one to interact with people, and makes it a place for discovery.

The book stacks are kept at a height of 4'6 so that one can look over them to see the rest of the space, and the people in it. The large atrium allows one to look vertically through the building to see the spaces above as well.

The facade pushes and pulls with the nature of the stairs and seem to wander back and forth and helps reinforce the idealogical nature of the library as a story rather than just a storage place for books.

�� forces for the design. At Wave Hill, there are conditions of space that are enclosed by a canopy, but nevertheless feel like an open space. As the sun moves across the sky and is filtered through the canopy it makes the surface of the spaces underneath appear to be in motion.

The louvers for this project act as both roofscape and landscape in which inhabitants are able to sit on benches, climb on certain parts of the louvers, it creates anuditorium like seating space, acts as solar shading, as well as somewhat of a covering. The public meeting space is completely open to the air on either side, and acts as a transition between the open land and the trees. The contrasting language of the main spaces allows the gesture of the flowing canopy to be recognized.

The louvers are the first thing that is seen as one approaches the space, and disappear into the trees at the other end, implying its continuity. I feel I have captured the beauty found in the way light reacts on a tree canopy in this design, and attempted to allow that to be a liveable space rather than just one that can be momentarily visited.

This project began as an investigation of a site within Higgins Hall. I explored the area behind the pit in the basement, where parts of the old building before the fire intermingled with the new renovated parts in the building. The part of the space I found most interesting was a "scar" on the wall, that showed the old aspects of the space in synchronization with the new. This concept developed to the point where I defined it as the dichotomy of "A Binding Fissure": something that is broken, but being bound or giving the appearance of being bound.

This started as just a formal exercise as a cube, and was then deformed in order to be fit within a site on Classon Ave. in Brooklyn, NY. The site itself was a thin elongated lot. I wanted to enable my design to incorporate itself within the site in a way that it did not blend in. A scar is something that can be seen, and for some people it is seen as a prideful memory of something that happened to them. I wanted this building to thrust itself out over the sidewalk to give an appearance of weight, and burden. This provides people the ability to just in the act of walking past to be in an exterior room of the space.

A program was applied to our design, and in order to continue my conceptual idea of a binding fissure I wanted to create a program that reflected a similar concept. My space became a center for destructotherapy, in which their are severaldifferent deformable surfaces that by performing a destructive act upon it one is creating a healing for themself, as well as a creation within the surface.

�� !��#�� Flourescent Light Bar to light the fixture.

I call the piece an Illuminated Story. It relates to the memory of being a child and reading a book. The story seems to jump from the pages, and like the light that comes from the fixture, the story immerses �� $%��pages, one moves through the moods of the book, and allows the memory of the appearance of the book to change at various times.

The piece is similar to a pop up book in the way the pages operate. They create a pattern that pops out of the page and allows the light to shine through it.

This project began with rebranding a company. I chose Canon, and created a new logo, color scheme, and slogan which was: "Beauty at Your Fingertips".

I then redesigned one of their products the Canon 60D DSLR camera. I went for a more sleek, ergonomic, and futuristic approach; and I integrated several new things into the camera. The camera has an additional touch screen display, with photo editing capabilities, as well as a laser projected keyboard, and the ability to connect to the internet. This allows one to take a picture, edit it, and upload it to the internet with one device at the touch of a finger.

The last phase of the project was in a team structure, and integrated all of our projects together into an interactive space. We used parametric modeling to create an enveloping and twisting surface that becomes places to display products, project information, and take pictures. The surface is created by a series of interlocking pieces that weave through each other.
